★ Must-know
Matter is classified as pure substances or mixtures.
A homogeneous mixture has uniform composition, whereas a heterogeneous mixture has distinguishable components or phases.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter, whereas intensive properties do not; mass and volume are extensive, while density, temperature, and phase-change points are intensive.
Further detail
📌 Qualitative properties are described without numerical measurement, whereas quantitative properties are expressed through measurement.
Pure substances have fixed composition, whereas mixtures contain combined components.
1. Which classification describes matter that has a fixed composition?
2. What distinguishes an element from a compound?
